Under the banner of Bhumi Adhikar Andolan, a fact finding delegation comprise of peoples representatives, advocates of Supreme Court and leaders of peasant organizations and Media persons will visit Rajasthan -on 6, 7 January 2018 to expose the unabated attacks on minorities.
The delegation will visit Ghatmeeka village of the dairy farmer Ummar khan who was killed recently by so called Gourakshaks , Alwar where dairy farmer Pehlu Khan was murdered and Rajsamand where a migrant agriculture laborer Afrasul was killed and video graphed. The delegation will interact with the family members of the victims of communal attacks on peasants and agricultural workers from minority community, representatives of citizen groups and Police and Revenue officers.

The series of attacks on peasants and workers from minorities by the criminal communal forces supported by RSS and BJP under the cover of the communal slogan of ‘cow protection’ as happening in Rajasthan is part of conspiracy by the imperialist forces to divide the class unity of the people of India to perpetuate class exploitation. The British colonial rule had the legacy of ‘Divide and Rule’ and currently under the BJP led Central and State Governments, RSS is playing the same role by misusing the religion.
The kind of communal politics being pushed up by RSS is anti constitutional and dangerous to the unity of the people and the country. Such anti-national tendencies needs to be dealt with iron clad determination by all the progressive citizen and democratic political forces to save the country from becoming prey of domestic violence and civil war type of situation as happening in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon etc under the machination of Centre Intelligence Agency and US Imperialism. The danger of both majority and minority communalism needs to be resisted and shown their place in a modern civil society and that is possible only by strengthening class unity of the peasantry as well as working class. Hindu-Muslim unity was the core of unity of Indian people in independent struggle against British colonial and feudal forces.
Unfortunately the Government of India and the State Government of Rajasthan have failed to live up to the expectation of the progressive citizen and ensure protection to the minorities. So far more than 30 innocent persons belong to the Muslim community have been lynched and murdered in different parts of the country during the NDA rule under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rajasthan has become the epicenter of such criminal attacks of communal nature especially on dairy farmers and agriculture works. Hence the Bhumi Adhikar Andolan decided to lead a delegation to Visit Rajasthan on 6, 7 January 2018 as a fact finding team.
